Frank Rowland bio:

Born September 25th 1927 and deceased December 10th 2012, Frank Rowland was a native of Altoona, Pennsylvania. He lived in cities across the U.S., among them Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Chicago, and Winston-Salem. His interest in art began when as a child, he accompanied his father, an amateur landscape artist, to classes at night. He later studied at the School of Art in Pittsburgh, the American Academy of Art (Chicago), and the Academic Art Foundation (Chicago).

Among Frank Rowland's accomplished works are oils and watercolors, sketches, prints, photographs, murals and sculptures. Over the course of his career, he also designed sets for film and stage. Other fields to which he has lent his talents include architectural and industrial design, illustration, animation, and museum exhibits, as well as book design. In addition, his talent as a Master printer was widely recognized in the field of art serigraphy. With each piece he relies on diverse imagery and varying degrees of abstraction to evoke rich emotions for the viewer.

He has been featured in one-man shows in New York, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Chicago, and Paris. He has also been part of group shows throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, France, Japan, Australia, and Western Europe. Rowland's artwork is included in the corporate collections of AT&T, IBM, Disney Productions, Price Waterhouse, Arthur Andersen, Playboy, Allstate, Sears Roebuck, Coldwell Banker, Crocker National Bank, Gould Inc., and many others.
